guillemot ff wheel under xp

Hello, I have recently tried to get my trusty old FF wheel to work under XP and hit unexpected problems. I tried all the drivers on the Thrustmaster site, including the W2k ones, but keep loosing my wheel whenever I exit a game or shut down the machine. Essentially, in order to play, I have to completely uninstall/reinstall all the drivers - an unbearable hassle. Has anyone succeeded in getting the Guillemot FF wheel to work under xp then? Many thanks for help. Best Fred

Fred: Is this the original Ferrari FFB wheel by TM/Guillemot? If so, I am using mine under XP Pro SP2. Which drivers did you get from the TM site? The v3.02 ones are XP compatible (released 04-24-2003). To get to them, select PC->Wheels->Force Feedback Racing Wheel->Drivers. I seem to remember that XP installed the drivers automatically the first time I plugged it in but can't remember for sure. TN Fred wrote:
